Post Weight Loss Surgery
“Post Weight Loss Surgery is designed to address skin left on certain areas of the body where there has been significant weight loss.”

What is Post Weight Loss Surgery?
When a patient loses a significant amount of weight, the skin is not always able to adapt and remain tight, following substantial changes to the shape of the body.
Post Weight Loss Surgery works to remove or adjust excess skin and fat from the patient’s body for both aesthetic and functional reasons.
How Does It Work?
There are several types of post weight loss surgeries, each with their own unique procedure to target a specific area of the body.
Our team of Plastic Surgeons will work with you to determine the best surgery for you, based on your goals and where you’re carrying excess skin and fat.
Your surgery will then involve making incisions in the right areas to remove the skin and alter the body tissue in line with your goals.
